Cruel Husband- 23

…

Wang Yibo

When Yibo left Zhan alone to receive the call from Haikuan.

“Where the hell are you Yibo? There is a meeting in a few minutes.” Haikuan barked.

Yibo pinches his nose as he completely forgets about the meeting.

“Fuck… I forget.. look, Haikuan, you can attend that on my behalf too. I don’t think I can come in this short notice.”

Haikuan replied. “OK! But still where are you?”

Yibo sarcastically replied. “Following your stupid plan.. (Yibo sighs) I’m with Zhan… I brought him for shopping.”

There was silence from the Haikuan side then he said. “Oh so nothing works.”

Yibo gets angry.

“Yeah like shit work… I told you I can’t act like this with him, and I was right it’s useless… he won’t even reply me properly all he does yes, no and nothing that’s his response… I’m telling you I can’t act like this… I want you to contact that Zanjin guy and found out more truth about that 12 Dec night… and I need this time a bigger and clear proof not like before where police didn’t believe us as they can’t even fucking see their faces… I need something new Haikuan.”

Yibo barked

Haikuan tries to relax him.

“Yibo just chill ok… why you think he will open his mouth just like that, you have scared him to death…. do you think all of a sudden he will trust you and tell all his dirty secrets? and as per Zanjin I contacted him to check on Hepeng guy, he told me it’s true that Hepeng left the night before that bastard Xiaojun and Yifei… and I also told him about drugging Yifei thing. Zanjin assure me he will comes with something….”

Haikuan sighs loudly…”Now tell me what you ask and how Zhan respond.”

Yibo picks out his cigarette pack and put one in his mouth… he was craving this thing…

“I was fucking thinking if I bring him to shopping, buying clothes, taking him to expensive restaurants, even trying to involve him in a bullshit chat.. that’s what chicks want… so I did that… and then I ask him about Hepeng guy… and Haikuan, believe me, I saw from my own eyes he become so tense and he made a face like he remember something when I asked him what is it… he told me just big NOTHING… and I get a little angry but I control it on time…. then you called me and I’m here in this fucking smoking area!”

Haikuan was clearly irritated by this news too.

“Damn it… he will not tell us like this… fuck… so he knew something but Yibo you did the right thing that you try to control your anger.. maybe not now but sometimes he may open his mouth. And for god sake Yibo stop smoking so much… it like poison to you, it makes you lose your mind more.”

Yibo sarcastically said.

“Are you my fucking doctor… it’s my coping mechanism… it not to lose my mind… just focus on that Zanjin guy and keep the tab on Hepeng guy.”

With that Yibo drop his phone.

When Yibo go to his table… it was empty… where this Zhan go… then he was stun when he saw with whom Zhan was standing…

Fuck…. Zhan, you are really gone if you, open your mouth…

Yibo told himself… he wish he is too not late….. when he approached them he saw how both the siblings become so tense…

And he saw Zhan who was smiling and talking with his brother become a cold still body to him…

Yibo tries to keep the conversation short and civil and decide to go but when Cheng gives his card to Zhan.

His blood starts to boil… how fucking dare you Zhan… something is cooking between them.

They both were sitting in the car and Yibo wants the driver to drive fast.

So that he can ask his wife what the fuck he did now….. if Cheng has given his card to him which means Zhan might have told him something…..

But Yibo was controlling his anger… he saw Zhan said to him something but his anger and glare told Zhan to shut the fuck up.. and he told him to give the card when Zhan hesitates he asked him in his deadly and cold tone which makes him tremble… he tears the card and throw in the car dustbin… and waited for the moment when they will be alone.

When they reached home…

He told the butler to put the shopping bags in another room…

When Zhan looks at him with fear he just grab Zhan hand roughly and drag him to the room…

When they enter the room they saw Messy was rocking a sleepy Fei who was looking so innocent and carefree from this cruel world she lives in…

Zhan wanted to go and hold his daughter and smell her baby hair and kissed her… she was becoming a weakness and a strength for Zhan.

Zhan mother instinct went high and he walks towards his daughter.

But Yibo grabbed him once more towards him and said. “Don’t you dare to move.”

He said to Messy. “Take her out and stay with her till I’m gone from this room.”

Messy girl who was already so scared and intimated by Yibo personality just give a meek node and pity looked at Zhan…

Yibo closed the door and told Zhan to stand in the middle of the carpet…

For Zhan don’t know why this vision came but it was exactly the vision he saw when it was their wedding night and Yibo exactly told him to stand in the middle…

Zhan was having another panic attack but he control it by deep breaths… no, I has to be strong.. I made that promise to Fei… I will explain him properly he will get it… I knows he is trying to move forward and trusting me… so he needs to asked questions of how I like what I talk, whom I met…

Zhan calm his down internally but Yibo took out his cigarette and lightened it up.

“What did we discuss just before about my trust on you and all that other stuff related to public appearance or did you forget?”

Yibo looked at him dangerously.

Zhan was shaking but his words were composed.

“Sir… I did everything you have told me… believe me I didn’t say anything.”

Yibo lost it and slap him on cheek with such a force that Zhan whole body pushes backward with the force and he grabs the bed.

Zhan looked at him with shocked and tears in his eyes.

This is almost after a year, Yibo hit him like that… and it doesn’t feel good to him but very wrong…. Yibo was more stun by his anger… he didn’t plan to hit him… he wants to show Zhan his place and importance of the word trust and appearance but not like this.

But when Zhan spoke the lies from his mouth Yibo lost him.

He watched Zhan get up and stand rigidly like he is waiting Yibo will hit him again.

Yibo can see a bruise forming that will be darker in few hour… and it makes him feel like shit… what the hell is happening to him… but he didn’t show this to Zhan…

He said in harsh voice. “LIKE I said before it’s up to you how you’re going to maintain the trust and because of that I will trust you… but you decided to do something stupid.. after I did everything in my power to give you good day let you enjoy the shopping, the good feed in a top-notch restaurant and a trip to Miami even I miss an important meeting for you… but looks like you were ready to betray me… ok then there is a punishment for this… for one you don’t get any of the privileges of going to Miami and forget about those fancy clothes or even this day.”

Yibo looked at him with evil eyes.

Zhan tears didn’t stop but he replied clearly.

“Sir… I know you have made up your mind and I cannot do anything you for this… I will bear it if you want but plz if you give me a chance to explain then I will tell you from top to bottom.”

Yibo was amazed of Zhan strength even knowing he can do the worse on him for replying him back… but he was stun that how Zhan softly but composedly talk to him.

“Ok… although my mind won’t change I’m giving you a chance to speak. You have two minutes to explain.”

Yibo put the almost finished cigarette on ashtray and narrow his eyes on him.

Zhan took a deep breath and said.

“I… I don’t know what happens but when you were gone to attend the phone I felt a slight headache so I close my eyes but then I heard a voice… a very familiar voice.. I turned back who it was… it shocked the hell out of me when I saw it was my brother Cheng..(Zhan snips) After more than 2 years I was looking at him so closely, he was so changed.. look so taller than before…”

Zhan wipe the tears was coming nonstop…

“!.. I get emotional and I can’t stop my self to look him more closely… to only say his name and confirm it that it was my youngest brother… When we both realized it was indeed us… I hugged him and get emotional… he asked lots of question why I didn’t contact him, he told me mother told him I don’t want to do anything with him… which hurt me and I said I didn’t say that…”

Yibo gives a dark and furious glare.

“plz let me explain I told him I didn’t say that as mom is angry from me. for other reason which Chengs knows… just blame it on my sickness and pregnancy and how i was in coma. To make his mind distract… I told him about Fei and then you came… believe me, if I wanted to say something to him might have said 5 minutes ago before you came, and if Chengs and I plan something he would never give me his contact number in front of you… Sir believe me I swear on my little daughter I didn’t say anything to break your trust.”

Zhan speech make Yibo confused and speechless for a moment… is Zhan telling the truth? he swears on Fei, and Yibo knews Fei means world to Zhan …

Yibo put his hand on his forehead, what it’s a misunderstanding?

But if he apologized he will look small and guilty which he doesn’t want to look even if he is feeling like that… but the way Zhan spoke and control his emotions was reChengable.

Yibo darkly spoke. “Very well you used your 2 minutes wisely and now it’s upon me to believe this speech of yours or not… and think you still need punishment.”

Zhan eyes closed and he looks down and looks helpless.

“Whatever you decide sir… I can’t say anything to you after this.”

Yibo nodes but he was feeling bad very bad but his ego was telling him to say.

“Since I’m trying to cool down I’m giving you two options to choose your own punishment one is complete isolation from the inner and outer world… which includes your daughter… you will have no contact with her till the time I want… it will be a complete lockdown not like previous basement room lockdown it will be less intense.”

Yibo saw how Zhan lost all the color and was shocked.

“No sir… I chose the second option then… I can’t live without my daughter… she needs me she.. she is so small.”

Zhan was sobbing.

Yibo felt pain in his heart the way Zhan cries for his daughter.. he wants to end this but the silence grow. He wanted to tell Zhan he was sorry, he overreacted he wanted to wipe Zhan tears…

What The Fuck… doesn’t think like that? Yibo looked away and said. “Then takes off your clothes and lie face down on the bed.”

Zhan didn’t say anything he just closed his eyes and unbutton his buttons one by one.

Yibo was getting turn on but at the same time, he doesn’t want Zhan like that he realized… He walks closer towards him and hold Zhan’s hand and shakes his head.

“Damn it… Zhan leave it.” He said in a broken voice.

Zhan looked uncertain about what happens now.

But Yibo looked at Zhan deep eyes and said.

“I believe what I see and sometimes I make wrong decisions… fuck! I don’t know what happened when I saw you with Cheng… the first thought came to my mind you told him everything… but your words the way you told me was very brave… I believe you…(Yibo start buttoning Zhan shirt) and we both try to forget this bad memory of a good day.”

Zhan was stun that Yibo not only believe him but also appraise him.

Yibo and Zhan know they can’t forget this day…. especially Zhan can’t…

But Yibo saw Zhan nodes but then they heard a faint sound like ‘thud’ and then they heard a loud crying sound.

They both looked at each other and realized it was Fei sound…

Zhan gasp and run for his daughter.

Yibo also doesn’t stop and run at a speed….

When they saw it was what… Zhan

Screamed his daughter name.
